TextureUtility

TextureUtility is a static helper class that helps you get Textures in the editor from two sources, Resources folder and DLLs. Additionally, GetBuiltInTexture provides a solution to get a unity editor built-in texture.

Texture location

In the Unity Editor, the texture has to be in a Resources folder in a Editor folder.

If the texture is not found in a Resources folder in the project, the utility will try to load it from the Embedded Resources in a DLL. If it does not find it, it will just put up a blank texture.

Texture Loading

Load the texture (...)/Editor/Resources/MyProject_TextureName.png

var tex = TextureUtility.GetEmbeddedIcon("MyProject_TextureName");

Textures name require an unique name (with your project name for example) because TextureUtility find textures by name, not with the complete path in assembly

DLL creation

Wonderland can automatically adds your Resources in your libraries. Set Common.ResourcesCompilationPipeline to true in the Wonderland configuration window.

Assembly Definition

Create an assembly definition in your dll directory. assemblydef

Configure it with references and platforms (tick Editor only for editor dlls)

Unity will build automatically the dll and create a csproj file. TextureUtility adds a compilation step and automatically appends (...)/Editor/Resources/ files in the project if DLL name contains "Editor". Resources are not append in the unity dlls (Library/ScriptAssemblies/).

Generate projects in VS

assemblydef

Open all referenced projects assemblydef

Configure your build (release for standard dll, debug for editor dll) assemblydef

Select your build and generate it. DLLs are located in obj folders.

Bug since Unity 2019.3

Since Unity 2019.3, project files not works to build DLL. There are 2 problems.

PropertyGroup Release has been removed To resolve, append this

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
  <DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
  <Optimize>true</Optimize>
  <OutputPath>Temp\bin\Release\</OutputPath>
  <ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
  <WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
  <NoWarn>0169</NoWarn>
  <AllowUnsafeBlocks>False</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
</PropertyGroup>

Before

<PropertyGroup>
    <NoConfig>true</NoConfig>
    <NoStdLib>true</NoStdLib>
    ...

In ProjectReference blocks, this line <ReferenceOutputAssembly>false</ReferenceOutputAssembly> Remove it or set it to true. Issue tracker (Fixed in 2019.3.13f1)
